About the Equestrian Centre

Ruins Of Balaclava
The ruins of Balaclava, a national heritage site of the 18th century, is set amidst a tropical garden awarded ‘Most Beautiful Garden of Mauritius’. The ruins are the remains of what used to be a fortress built by the first French Governor of Mauritius, Mahe de Labourdonnais. Horse riding at this epic site will have you enjoy a ride down memory lane.
The clopping sound of your mount’s hooves against the ground, blended with the whistling breeze and the burbling whoosh of the Citron river will have you transported back in time. As you ride through the lush greenery, you will find your inner peace resurfacing. The enchanted views of the garden with a river flowing like a ribbon between banks of thick green moss, and the ruins adding to the already magical setting will make your horse riding experience an unforgettable one.
